Blackmonster Self Portraits

 Supposing my work was formal I may create or perhaps dabble in portraiture.

Below are a few samples of my self-portraiture. And how, if I were beautiful these images might not have even been made. What's interesting is that when I was younger and debatably more genotyp-ically pleasing, it was a fantasy of mine to cut my face to spite any potentially objectifying interest in my appearance. But though I did not cut my face there is a cut on my heart. 

"Do you see what I see?"

Here are some valuable links concerning the self portrait.

And below I have included some examples of self-portraits and a portrait that I admire. Work by 

Otto Dix and Max Beckman.
